Trustees' Report (continued)

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The objects of the Charity are: to advance the Christian faith and to promote in the parish of Chilwell the whole mission of the church. The trustees must use the income, and may use the capital, of the Charity in promoting these objects.

Objectives, strategies and activities

Activities are organised from one or other of the two Church of England places of worship in the parish, Christ Church on High Road and St Barnabas on Inham Road.

The Charity holds regular services of Christian worship, carries out various activities and events for young people, older people (including some in residential care), parents and children, and people with pastoral and social needs. Services, events and activities are open to any person in the community, whether or not they are regular worshipping members of Christ Church or St Barnabas.

Public benefit

All services and events are open to members of the public and are mostly free of charge at the point of delivery. Where events are charged at cost this is advertised in publicity material.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

The Charity aims to minister to social and spiritual needs. The Charity has welcomed more people to services this year and seen growth in it's work with children and young people.

The Community Hub run at St Barnabas church as part of the charity, has continued to provide services through the various clubs and schemes it runs, and has also expanded to run a "Food Club" after the local Children's centre was unable to continue running. The Community Hub continues to be recognised by local councils as a well run and utilised resource, attracting grant funding, even when not specifically seeking it. The church has been involved with a number of local schools, providing support and materials to support learning. In addition to its work in the parish of Chilwell the Charity also provides financial and other support to a number of individuals and organisations. These are approved by the trustees from time to time, and the churches receive information to enable support and prayer.

A more detailed description of achievements in the reporting period is provided in the parish Annual Review which is presented to the annual church meeting, and copies are available on request to the parish office.

Financial review

The Charity income was £195.3k more than expenditure in 2023, with a balance of £482k. The significant surplus was mainly due to a further aspects of a large legacy that the Trustees are currently determining the best use of. Staffing levels during the course of the year have increased, although the full revenue cost of this is not yet represented. The charity also made one off gifts to a number of charity partners to clear a surplus of designated Outward Giving funds. Generally the charity is in a sound position.

Policy on reserves

The majority of receipts are monthly, then quarterly (eg gift aid claims). We therefore need between 1 and 3 months' reserves. The reserves at the year end are within this target.

PCC Chilwell

Trustees' Report (continued)

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The Charity is controlled by the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure (1956) as amended and Church Representation Rules, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Trustees are ex officio and elected members of the Parochial Church Council (“PCC”).

Organisational structure

New elected members are appointed at each Annual General Meeting for a term of three years, and in-line with the size of our Electoral Roll, up to 15 elected members can be appointed. Each year, at least the number nearest to one-third of the elected places (i.e. 5) must be relinquished each year for re-election, with the earliest members standing down as necessary.

St Barnabas has some attributes of a conventional “district” (whereby pastoral oversight is split within the parish). St Barnabas has a part-time self supporting minister as well as being served by the Incumbent and other ministers within the Parish. St Barnabas has a church council, the members of which are elected at an annual meeting, and members of the PCC attend meetings. Members of St Barnabas are active PCC members as there is a parish electoral roll. Finances are managed across the parish, with funds separated for St Barnabas, and combined on the Charity Accounts.

Major risks and management of those risks

All individual giving is voluntary and cannot be relied on indefinitely. We review regular giving quarterly and annually. Rising energy costs provide a risk for the future to for the charity.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of PCC Chilwell

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of PCC Chilwell

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of PCC Chilwell (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

PCC Chilwell

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

PCC Chilwell meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Changes in accounting policy

The fixed assets of land and buildings policy has changed from the insured value to the earliest available record for valuation on the balance sheet.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Page 10

PCC Chilwell

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Grant provisions

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Christ Church Church Hall is included in the Balance Sheet as a Fixed Asset. No provision is made for depreciation. The value ascribed to the Church Hall is the earliest available record value of £470,684.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Page 11

PCC Chilwell

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds and resources set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined benefit pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.

16 Pension and other schemes

Defined benefit pension schemes

EMPLOYER participates in the Pension Builder Scheme section of CWPF for lay staff. CWPF is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the CWPF assets separately from those of the Employer and other participating employers.

CWPF has two sections:

  1. the Defined Benefits Scheme

  2. the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections;

a. a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and,

b. a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.

Pension Builder Scheme

Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.

Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.

Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum which members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.

There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.

The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are the contributions payable (2023: £3082, 2022: £2133).

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)

A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2019.

For the Pension Builder Classic section, the 2019 valuation revealed a deficit of £4.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review effective 1 January 2024, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 6.7% to both pensions not yet in payment and pensions in payment in respect of service prior to April 1997; and a bonus on pensions in payment in respect of post April 2006 service so that the pension increase was 5% (where usually it would be calculated based on inflation up to 2.5%). This followed improvements in the funding position over 2023. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the 2019 valuation revealed a surplus of £5.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.

The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2022. Calculations for this should be completed by March 2023.

"The information above is provided by the Church of England Pension Board"

The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, EMPLOYER could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer’s pension liabilities.
